Fuse
Replacement
1. When replacing a fuse, be sure to replace it with one of
specified capacity.
If a fuse again fails after it has been replaced, the circuit
probably has a short circuit and the wiring should be
checked.
2. Be sure the negative battery terminal is disconnected be-
fore replacing a main fuse (80A).
3. When replacing a pullout fuse, use the fuse puller supplied
in the fuse box cover.

l Be sure that the ignition and other switches are OFF
before disconnecting or connecting the battery
